Mitch and Allison Lomax

Allison and Mitch Lomax of John L. Scott Real Estate had our backs from the get-​go. As part of a zippy-​quick career relocation to San Francisco, we’d already selected the agent we wanted, an expert on our Bellevue neighborhood, but had to fulfill the relo company’s requirements and get a comparison sale quote from their preferred agent. After both their agent and ours quoted markedly different figures, we needed a third with which to compare – enter Allison and Mitch Lomax. Like other agents we interviewed, they had an impressive presentation of their services (über fabulous – personalized chocolate bars during Open House anyone?), and they really heard what we wanted from the sale, however, it was their genuine enthusiasm for our particular house and assisting with our specific circumstances that made me and my husband double-​take and go with our instincts to hire the Lomaxes instead of our original choice. In the recent West Bellevue market, houses were practically selling themselves, if they even reached MLS and this was a relo so we already knew agents received a lower percentage of the home sale profit. It was beyond impressive that Allison and Mitch gave our home sale beyond the attention and shepherding we expected, responding very quickly to current market realities in our neighborhood and balancing a host of complexities to get the job done. They worked very effectively with our relocation company (many rules and requirements) and communicated with us during all points of the transaction. Bonus: There’s two of them so you can always reach one or the other with questions or requests and they have an amazing office assistant Kathy, who is on top of all the paperwork and details.
Both Mitch and Allison went the extra mile and we were able to rely on them in full confidence to coach us through what had the potential to be a very stressful process. Mitch is an effective negotiator, helping all involved be clear about their needs and expectations and facilitating a virtually seamless transaction with our buyer. Working with Tim and Leanne of Top to Bottom, Allison helped make sure all of our market prep happened as fast as possible, providing full advantage to us in a unique market opportunity. She also supervised the movers for our family until we could return from vacation – that is commitment. Finally, she coordinated the final walk-​through and clean up of our home so we could leave to catch the flight to our new home.
My family feels blessed to work with two such genuine, solutions-​oriented, integrity-​filled people who know their market, enroll other wonderful people in the process, communicate effectively, and go far beyond expectations. We wholeheartedly recommend Mitch & Allison Lomax to help sell or buy your home.
